World's Finest Case Trimmer

Anything that helps make your life easier when it comes to reloading is worth looking into, especially when it comes to case prep. Not too long ago, a friend of mine purchased a trimming tool called the World's Finest Trimmer (WFT) made by Little Crow Gunworks. It's used to trim resized cases and do it quickly and consistently over many other manual options. On top of that, it's powered by your drill. I had to get my hands on one and see for myself.

Truglo Fiber Optic Sights for Glock

A great upgrade to the already great gun is a set of TruGlo fiber optic sights. Fiber optic sights are a useful add-on that helps draw the eye to the sights for accurate shot placement by focusing light into a single round point. What's better than fiber optic sights alone is combining them with self-illuminating tritium, the same stuff in military equipment used in low light conditions.

Semi-Auto Pistol Shooting Fundamentals

Pistol shooting proficiency comes with time and correct practice. The right way of shooting has to happen early before bad habits have a chance to set in. Repetitive trigger time at the range and dry firing at home  allows the fundamentals of proper pistol shooting to codify. At least three semi-auto pistol shooting fundamentals need to be emphasized over and over, on and off the range.

Book Review: Collision Course

I was in the Exchange the other day checking out gun magazines--the periodicals--not the ammo feeding devices and the small book section. There was a paperback titled Collision Course by David Crawford. It had another label on the cover, "A Novel of Survival." I never heard of the author but apparently he wrote another that preceded this title called Lights Out.

Another AR-15 Rifle Project

Adding to the armory is another AR-15 build. Unlike the other build published earlier, this one is a rifle version of the black guns based on a Black Rain Ordnance upper and lower receiver pair. This project cam about because of the carbine build earlier. I wanted a full size rifle this time with iron sights just like the M16A2 I was issued in the Marine Corps.
